Analysis of Postoperative Outcomes and Extrauterine Growth Retardation in Preterm Infants with Necrotizing Enterocolitis: A Retrospective Study.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveHigh mortality and extrauterine growth retardation (EUGR) remain serious problems in preterm infants after necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) surgery. This study investigated the risk factors for mortality and EUGR in preterm infants after NEC surgery. STUDY
designThe risk factors were analyzed retrospectively by univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression analysis in 52 preterm infants, who underwent NEC surgery and were hospitalized in neonatology department of Shanghai Children's Hospital between May 2014 and December 2021. Patients were divided into survival and death groups. Survivors were divided into two groups according to whether EUGR occurred when they achieved full enteral feeding after surgery.
resultsThe mortality of preterm infants after NEC surgery was 26.9% (14/52). About 55.3% (21/38) of survivors developed postoperative EUGR. (1) Age at surgery, proportion of shock, and intestinal perforation differed significantly between the survival and death groups (
conclusionShock and intestinal perforation are significant risk factors for death in preterm infants after NEC surgery. Survivors are prone to EUGR, and preoperative EUGR is a significant risk factor. In addition, adequate caloric intake and achievement of full enteral feeding as soon as possible may be beneficial to improve EUGR of preterm infants after NEC surgery. KEY POINTS: · Shock and intestinal perforation are risk factors for death in preterm infants after NEC surgery.. · Preoperative EUGR is a risk factor for postoperative EUGR in preterm infants after NEC surgery.. · Active correction of shock and avoiding intestinal perforation may help improve the outcomes..
